Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston and Galantis don’t have enough star power to win. Flying Lotus feat. Kendrick Lamar would be an interesting choice. Skrillex and Diplo with Justin Bieber seems like the obvious winner. I’m going to go on a limb and predict The Chemical Brothers feat Q-Tip.

Justin Bieber is winning his first Grammy. What a comeback this era ended up being for him, despite himself. Congrats. I generally liked this category. My favorite by a country mile is “Never Catch Me,” but I’ll celebrate its nomination as the ultimate reward. It’s such an unilkely song to make this roster. That’s enough for me. “Runaway (You & I)” is nothing special and veryyy autotuned. The female’s vocal on “We’re All We Need” is both haunting and beautifully done. I wouldn’t mind a possible upset there. I guess The Chemical Brothers are always ones to look out for, and they’ve won here already with Q-Tip. “Go” feels like retread of greater past work though, but you never know. They have corresponding Dance/Electronic Album nods just like Skrillex & Diplo. I think the hit of the group rises to the top in this field, and “Where R U Now?” will be a worthy enough winner.

Of course Lean On could have been a front- runner in this category .
but the fools of Mad Decent decided to send it to the slaughter in the pop field.
Just so it doesn’t clog with Where Are U Now.
Maybe they thought that with Lean On being a major hit it would have a better chance to appear in the pop category.
This snub still hurts.
